[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]IMHO, this fervor to get your marginally qualified kid into APP does many of them a huge disservice late in life. It's the whole precious little snowflake thing.[/quote] this is a crude way to put it, but there are several kids in DC's AAP class that are, ay best, marginally suited to be there. The selection Committe probably gets it right most of the time, but not always. I assume that with 2nd graders they a judging a kid's potential and some just don't live up to their potential. I doubt this really hurts them that much later in life though.[/quote] This might be true, but it is not our problem or worry. Worry about your own child. It might not seem fair, but the other kid is none of our business. Also, while I think I know who is suited best for AAP, I really don't. I am not a psychologist or a teacher, just a mother looking out for her kid.[/quote]
